In a statement, the bank said the collaboration builds on their previous efforts in modernizing retail banking, further advancing financial technology solutions for businesses.
With corporate banking requirements evolving, the newly redesigned platform provides a more secure, efficient, and user-centric experience, streamlining financial transactions and operational processes, it said.
Digital financial services
The launch follows the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas’ Digital Payments Transformation Roadmap, which saw digital retail payments rise from 42.1 percent in 2022 to 52.8 percent in 2023.
The CTBC-Hitachi initiative aligns with this trend, reinforcing efforts to make banking more accessible and seamless for enterprises, the bank said.
“This new platform is more than a tool – it’s a strategic enabler for businesses to manage their finances with ease, efficiency, and confidence,” said Luis Elizaga, president and CEO of CTBC Bank Philippines. “Following the success of our retail app revamp, this collaboration with Hitachi Asia demonstrates our continued commitment to innovation, ensuring both our consumer and corporate clients have access to cutting-edge digital banking solutions.”
Enhanced features for businesses
The upgraded Corporate NETBanking Web Portal introduces several improvements to help businesses manage finances effectively:
Security remains a core focus, with two-factor authentication and real-time transaction notifications minimizing risks. Approval workflows such as Maker-Checker-Approver setups also ensure compliance with corporate policies.
“In today’s financial landscape, ensuring secure and seamless access to banking services is non-negotiable,” said Lourdes Yap, senior director for sales and marketing at Hitachi Asia Ltd. Philippines.
Through this partnership, CTBC Bank and Hitachi Asia continue to drive digital transformation, equipping businesses with the tools they need to thrive in a competitive market, the bank said.
